Killing God

Not far away, the stall owner Ran Xiu and the skeleton-shaped weird still argue over the value and price of the topaz, while Chen Shi squatted in front of the stall next door, staring at the spiritual grass in a daze. .

"Hey, this young master, you have been watching that Sky Luoye for a long time, do you want to buy it?"

A voice with a hint of impatientness sounded in front of Shen Shi, and it was the stall owner who was squatting under his eyes, looking at this young man who could not buy anything with an angry face.

Shen Shi recovered, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He gave a dry laugh, stood up and took two steps back, and walked away as if nothing had happened. The stall owner snorted coldly and said to himself: "All the time I meet these poor ghosts who can’t buy money and don’t have money, when will I meet that kind of spirit crystal like rain? The local tyrant! Alas..."

Shen Shi didn't hear the contemptuous evaluation of the stall owner, but even if he heard him, he couldn't say anything. At the moment, he was just an expressionless appearance. He walked around randomly, and then remained silent. It seemed that he had walked back unconsciously, but this time, he stopped in front of the adjacent stall just now.

After a while, the stall owner who had been arguing and bargaining just now seemed to have reached an agreement with the skeleton-like weird person. Both sides made a concession and finally sold at the price of four spirit crystals.

Seeing that weird man’s painful expression made others look a little bit horrified. He took out four shining spirit crystals from his arms and handed them to the stall owner, and then took the topaz. After gently touching it twice, he hid in a cloth bag on his waist, and then turned away.

During this process, Shen Shi kept silently watching without speaking, until the weird person walked away, he walked to the booth and took a look, his gaze swept away from the other spiritual materials, and finally stayed at the one who fell to the ground. On the canister.

It was an old small pot, which looked like it had just been dug out of the soil, and there was some dirt on the pot. The whole body of the small can is about half a foot high, the mouth of the can is sealed, the body of the can is mottled and pitted, and there are traces of erosion everywhere, so that even some of the patterns originally carved on the can are blurred and unrecognizable, only a few The place can barely be seen.

Shen Shi took a closer look, and didn't see anything strange about this small pot, it seemed that it really was a rather old pot. And just at this moment, the stall owner reached out his hand to lift up the small pot, took a look at Shen Shi by the way, grinned, and said, "What's wrong, young master, do you like this pot?"

Shen Shi smiled and did not speak. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and picked up the small can. The starting point was slightly heavy. He didn't know whether it was the weight of the can itself or what was sealed in the small can. However, the rough feeling from the palm of the hand shows that this small pot has indeed been eroded badly.

Seeing that although Shen Shi didn't speak, he picked up this small pot and looked at it carefully. It seemed that he was really interested in the tattered things that no one cares about all the year round. The stall owner immediately became excited and smiled and said: "Little young master really has a good eye. This thing is not ordinary stuff. It was a few years ago when I was born and died, and I found it with great difficulty in an ancient tomb in'Longzhou'. I encountered many ghosts in the middle and almost died in that ancient tomb. Well, this thing is not bad, my old man has always been sincere and only sells you ten spiritual crystals."

The corner of Shen Shi's mouth twitched, and he put the small pot back on the ground without saying anything, and got up to leave.

The stall owner hurriedly stopped him, and said with a dry smile: "Little Master, what are you doing? Let's have a discussion and discuss it carefully..."

Shen Shi snorted, and turned around reluctantly, and said grumpily, "Don't look at my young age and deliberately lie to me."

A ray of joy passed by the vendor's eyes quietly, thinking that this is really a wealthy young master from an unknown family? That’s also true, this ragged little pot is usually placed here for a few months, and no one will ask for it. The real casual cultivation is to pay attention to those spiritual materials that are vital to the cultivation, such as the Lingcao Ling mine pill. Even classics or something, who would take a leisurely look at this humble jar. It is this kind of rich and stupid family master who likes these inexplicable antiquities!

The smile on the stall owner’s face became more and more warm, he smiled at Shen Shi, and said: "Little master is joking, I’m not that kind of deceitful person, if you really like this little pot, make a price , Shall we discuss it?"

Shen Shi pondered for a moment, frowning slightly, as if he was still undecided. He couldn't make a conclusion about what the small pot in front of him was. After hesitating, he picked up the small pot again and turned it over in his hand. After watching around, he slowly stood upside down and his eyes fell on the bottom of the small pot.

The bottom of the round tank, which is only about half the size of a palm, is also very eroded, causing a pattern originally carved here to become blurred, but compared to the tank body, the tank bottom may be better because it is on the ground. The previous ones, so the damage was not that serious after all, so after careful identification, Shen Shi still vaguely saw half of a sunflower pattern with three leaves.

This is only one side. In the place where the other half has been eroded so as to be indistinguishable, there are still some faint lines. It seems that there are a few leaves, but it is not clear.

The stall owner was rather patient. Even though Shen Shi stared at the can for a long time, he didn't mean to be impatient. It was much better than his neighbor next door. He just smiled and said, "Well, young master, you can see what?"

Shen Shi was silent, but he was hesitant in his heart. The pattern was too broken to see clearly, but looking at the pattern distribution, apart from the three sunflower leaves that could be identified, there was space left. Here, it seems that I can barely paint four more leaves.

Perhaps, is this really a pattern of horse chestnut...

Shen Shi silently looked at the canister in his hand, and subconsciously clenched his fingers for a few minutes. After a while, he slowly put the canister back.

※※※

In the long and distant past years, so long as people have long forgotten even today, there was a "seven leaf golden sunflower" pattern that shocked the entire Hongmeng world, and hundreds of people worshipped it. The heroes were in awe. Because of this gorgeous and dazzling golden coat of arms, they belonged to the master of that era, the supreme ruler of the monster clan that once ruled a hundred races, the master of the Heavenly Demon King Court, and the Demon Emperor.

The time when the Heavenly Demon King Court ruled the Hongmeng realms was much longer than the time when the Human Race ruled the Hongmeng. It is said that only the years recorded in historical data are at least 40,000 years old. Only after the battle between the monsters in the past, the monster clan was defeated, and the once glorious heavenly demon king's court collapsed in a sea of ​​flames and blood. Since then, everything of the monster clan has disappeared in the dust and smoke of the past. .

Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, the historical books that once recorded the past history of the Yao race have almost disappeared over the years. The human race dominates the Hongmeng realms. What needs to be remembered is that the Yao race has cruelly enslaved the human race in the past years. In the end, the human race rose and drove the evil demons back to the demon world, and destroyed the town's sacred artifact "Yin Ming Tower". Since then, it has been locked in the demon world and will never come back.

Time is the most merciless, no matter how you were in the past, you will still turn into dust clouds for thousands of years, leaving no traces. Coupled with the fact that most of the history books have disappeared and destroyed, not many people in the world today still remember the seven-leaf golden sunflower. And Shen Shi was also on the first floor of Tiantian, Xilucheng, Yinzhou. He was confused when identifying a certain kind of spiritual material with a long history. When he looked through the books, he accidentally saw some words mentioning this coat of arms.

In any case, the Yaozu has ruled the world for a long time, even if that era has passed 10,000 years, but in some inconspicuous corners, sometimes some faint words can still be unintentionally found.

It's just that in the broken pattern in front of me, it is still not clear how many leaves are there, and at the same time, the dazzling color that once belonged to the Aesculus Aesculus seems to have fallen off as time goes by.

Could it be that he admitted wrong?

Shen Shi was hesitant in his heart. After all, he had never seen a real seven-leaf golden sunflower pattern before this. Everything was based on guessing, but if it was a seven-leaf golden sunflower, this little The origin of the jar is not simple.

You know, the horse chestnut sunflower pattern symbolizes the supreme imperial power in the days of the Celestial Demon King's court. It has always been used only by the direct line of the Demon Emperor's line. There is only one reason for the horse chestnut sunflower pattern on the small pot like this. , That is, the stall owner took the **** luck that year and found the tomb of a certain demon emperor years ago, and this small pot is obviously one of the burial objects.

but……

Shen Shi looked up and glanced at the stall owner in front of him, and saw that he had a broad face and big ears, and his face was full of flesh. Although he was smiling at this moment, he seemed to be a bit fierce. Looks like, it doesn't look like a lucky person.

One might be the sacrificial item of a certain generation of Heavenly Demon King Court Demon Emperor, a treasure that was once qualified to be sacrificed after the death of the ruler of the entire Hongmeng world, would it really be this humble little pot in front of you?

Shen Shi looked at the stall owner with no expression on his face, and the stall owner looked at Shen Shi with a lovely smile.

"A spiritual crystal." Shen Shi said lightly.

※※※

The stall owner's expression suddenly became unsightly. He rolled his eyes and said, "Little Master, you are bargaining too hard."

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "This thing is not worth money."

The stall owner snorted and said, "Little Master, you can go out and ask, how many years I have been setting up a stall here, and I have always been a childish man... Uh, what is your expression?"

Shen Shi looked at him with a faint smile. After a while, he lowered his voice slightly and said: "Topaz has bright orange and yellow colors. The pure red and yellow colors are the top quality. Don’t make alchemy if you don’t enter the refining vessel, don’t...

"Enough." The stall owner's face changed drastically, staring at Shen Shi, without a word for a while.

Shen Shi smiled and said, "The topaz you sold just now, I can see that there are black-gray blocks on the stone, at least three places."

The stall owner looked up and down Shen Shi, frowning and said: "I can't tell, you still have this vision at a young age."

Shen Shi smiled without saying a word, just repeated one sentence, and said, "Sell me a spiritual crystal, right?"

The stall owner remained silent for a moment, his broad face changed, and then a smile suddenly appeared, "Little Master, what do you think this little pot is?"

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just like it."

The stall owner glanced at him, and then slowly curled the corner of his mouth, and suddenly said, "I'm not selling."

Shen Shi was blank, and said in amazement: "What?"

The stall owner named Lao Hou smiled slightly and said: "Little young master, I think you have unique eyesight, and I am afraid that you are a child from an extraordinary family. But since you have such a vision, I will trust you once. I took this thing back and studied it myself, and you are only willing to produce a spiritual crystal. Even if I take a spiritual crystal to bet this thing. What do you think?"

Shen Shi was silent for a while, looking at the stall owner Lao Hou, and Lao Hou's face was pleasing, he stretched out his hand and slowly took the small pot back, placed it in front of him, and a sly color passed through his eyes. Shen Shi took a deep breath and stood up slowly, knowing that he was still too young and inexperienced after all, and he wanted to find treasures from others with his own eyesight, but he didn't know that he was not the only smart person in this world.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled clearly in his mind the words he told when he separated from his father Shen Tai in Xilu City that day:

There are countless outstanding talents in this world, and the cultivators gathered together are the world's elites. There will always be someone smarter and stronger than you.

Be smart, this sentence is just the current self...

Even an ordinary casual repairer who set up a stall was enough to set himself up fiercely. The past self was really a frog in the bottom of the well. Shen Shi didn't say much any more, but he read his father's warning deeply from the bottom of his heart. This time, he had to engrave it in his heart. Then, Shen Shi glanced at the small pot one last time, turned and walked away.

Behind him, the stall owner Lao Hou showed a triumphant smile.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps... Although he hasn't looked back, Shen Shi still feels a little hot on his face. Maybe it's a teenager's temperament. Even if he knows it's his fault, he still can't help it. Be angry, angry with the cunning stall owner, and angry with yourself.

Just as he was about to take the fifth step, preparing to stay away from this stall that gave him a strong sense of frustration, a weird and feminine voice suddenly came from behind him, which made people feel a little horrified, saying:

"Boss, the weight of the topazite just now is a little less. I want to ask if you have any other stocks. I'll buy more."

Shen Shi's footsteps suddenly stopped.
